EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE MOTORIZED BICYCLE ACCIDENT PROBLEM. VOLUME II-APPENDIX/SUPPLEMENTAL DATA

This report describes study design, data collection methodology and practice, quality control design and effectiveness and data findings, analysis and conclusions of a three year study to: describe the characteristics of moped accidents; the characteristics of moped owners, users and accident involved drivers; dimension the moped accident situation; and to develop estimates of the cost of moped accidents. The report describes the data sources and techniques to generate the required information. These sources include police accident reports, a mail survey of registered owners, and a series of in-depth accident investigations. The findings indicate that moped accidents are similar to motor vehicle-bicycle accidents; users are often not the registrant; there is a high amount of usage and accident involvement by the young and the unlicensed. In general, there were far fewer accident events than anticipated.
